At least two major game developers are now considering Mac ports in the wake of Valve's move to offer support. Among these is Gas Powered Games, known for titles like Dungeon Siege and most recently Supreme Commander 2. "We, as a developer, will include a Mac platform option in all of our proposals moving forward," says company founder Chris Taylor. "We're in 100 percent support of it, absolutely."
Taylor insists that it is relatively easy to port Windows games to the Mac, as both platforms rely on Intel processors and ATI- or NVIDIA-based graphics hardware. The developer further tells The Escapist that the Mac has become more attractive recently because of a surge in system sales during the last year. "It shows that the OS X platform is really picking up speed," he comments. "That's super exciting, we need that in the world. We need that kind of balance in our market."
While GPG has no specific titles in mind, Swedish outfit DICE says it may be ready to do a Mac port of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, just recently launched for Windows and consoles. "We're currently investigating the possibility of making BFBC2 available on Mac," says one of the company's lead developers, Karl-Magnus Troedsson. Like Valve, DICE could be a major aid to the Mac due to the popularity of its games as multiplayer titles.

Έτσι φαίνεται. Αλλά! Δυστυχώς τα ίδια Παντελάκη μου, τα ίδια Παντελή μου. ΔΕΝ θέλουμε παιχνίδια όπως στα Windows. Θέλουμε παιχνίδια όπως στο PS3, Nintendo Wii, κλπ.
Μα τόσο στόκοι εκεί στις Windows εταιρίες; Έλεος! Βγάλτε κάνα God of War 3 για Mac και χέστε μας με τα Half-Life 15 και Battlefield 46.
Τρομπόνια.
